By Roberto F. Iunes (07/02, En, Es) See also Social Development
This working paper is being published with the sole objective of contributing to the debate on a topic of importance to the region, and to elicit comments and suggestions from interested parties. This paper has not gone through the Department's peer review process or undergone consideration by the SDS Management Team. As such, it does not reflect the official position of the Inter-American Development Bank.
Safety and security in the workplace, apart from the direct health consequences, are directly linked to other areas of economic performance such as labor productivity, poverty, and the social security system. As a result, labor safety and health issues have become essential elements in the process of economic and social development.
